While we're discussing business names, has anyone been successful in having a
domain name deregistered because the corresponding business name (which was the
basis for registration) no longer exists? I know what the policy and licence
terms say, but practically has anyone actually managed to get INA to act?

My experience is that you cannot register a domain name in .com.au (or
.net.au) without supplying the registration number of the relevant company
or business name. I have always understood that this is because INA (I
don't know about connect.com.au) runs an automatic check of the number, not
the name, against the ASIC databases to confirm a "valid" registration.
